Tools - Overview

While the CATs represent broadly applicable assessment techniques, the tools are discipline-specific instruments that are "nested" within CATs (e.g., Conceptual Diagnostic Tests represents a general category of assessment technique; The Astronomy Diagnostic Test is a specific tool for use in an introductory astronomy course). Since some instructors may be looking for convenient, time-saving, discipline-specific tools or instruments that may be implemented directly with only a modicum of additional effort, we have devised a database of appropriate tools. The database can be sorted by discipline or CAT, or searched by discipline, purpose or CAT.
